Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Probs with Trusty on 3 machines. All Dell.
What does Mark Wuest's post say? I do not understand.
I am trying to follow the error report to a solution(s). I upgraded to Trusty, and it was ok for awhile. I experienced probs with PlayonLinux, and could not load some games(Warzone2100). Then WIFI failed. Went to cable, and then lost control of system, screen went nuts. It would load and start up, and screen saver came up, but when I moved the cursor, I lost the screen.
I reloaded Ubuntu 12, and then back up to Trusty 14.04.1.
I will continue to re-install. WIFI ok now, hard-booted modem. I suspect a virus but have no way to tell.
Manana.

Confirmed several times by me. The EULA dialog pops-up BEHIND the Software Center. If I forget this is why the installation of the Ubuntu Restricted Extras is stalled, the bug report gets generated when I first close Software Center and then notice the EULA (and accept it, of course).

This EULA should appear IN FRONT OF the Software Center or perhaps the Software Center can be made to display a message to tell the user to locate the EULA dialog.
